Hey, Firefly writers

[jmtorres]

Where do you get your colorful Chinese phrases?

I read (in a currently locked post, or I'd link to it) that Taoists refer to the G-spot as the "black pearl." I'd like to know that phrase in Chinese, if I could. Anyone got any idea what it might be or where to find it?

Good lord. You just totally made my night. My whole week, even.

Alas, this comes with two problems for me:

My browser can't handle the Chinese characters babelfish returns, and I wouldn't know how to pronounce them anyway: I need pinyin.

I can't confirm that the phrase "black pearl" is translating to the correct one that means "g-spot" and just, "black" and "pearl."

[jmtorres.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yes. That was the original context of the post I found it in, and in fact the context of the story I need this phrase for. *grins*

Very good point. :p

This (http://www.after-glow.com/gspot.html) doesn't give the phrase/word, either.

Such an interesting discovery though. I suspect Disney has no idea... ;)

Oh, somebody has to know. I mean, it's sex. Somewhere there is a writer quietly tittering over every time someone says Jack Sparrow, captain of the Black Pearl.

It's like the "clit commander" line in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. *snickering*

I'm sure you have this.

And dictionary.com has links to on-line dictionaries in other languages.

IIRC, isn't the whole female apparatus referred to as the Jade Gate in Chinese?

[jmtorres.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't, but thank you very much for the link!

I wouldn't know, but this wouldn't surprise me at all.

Heh. Well, you do know that the meditative mantra >i>Om mani padme om - 'the jewel in the lotus' - is just cute-speak for fucking. His jewel, her lotus, etc.

Mmmm, dirty Tantric!Sex...

[jmtorres.livejournal.com]

*blink* Which word is "padme"? Because I'm suddenly wondering about the dirtiness factor of TPM.

[carmarthen.livejournal.com]

Lotus, I believe.

[jmtorres.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Riiiiiight. I'll just be over here giggling insanely.

[carmarthen.livejournal.com]

I bet they meant it innocently. Somehow. Maybe.

Thanks for the laughs, especially about TPM. Remind me if/when I create a conlang to come up with some obscure euphemisms/poeticisms/whatever you want to call them.
